Chapter 473: Intermediate Host

This kind of Lin Yuan fruit is pure wild at first glance, if it is farmed, it will not grow so big, and it seems that someone has beaten this Lin Yuan fruit to sell it.

Lin Yuanguo's name is very peculiar, because its appearance is also very peculiar, it looks like a hedgehog from a distance, but in fact, it has no thorns on its body at all, and its face is also very ugly.

If it is said that rich people like to eat such strange things now, Lin Yuanguo's meat is actually not delicious at all, but a little sour, but rich people are good at this bite.

In addition, wild animals generally feed on rotting animal carcasses or insects, so there are a lot of bacteria on the body, and it is not impossible to bring this new type of peak virus.

She sighed, there are so many things to eat now, why do you have to eat this wild animal, this animal has a lot of bacteria on its body, and if it is not handled well, it will cause a plague.

And the weather in Cloud City is very hot. Once the animal cannot be sold, the carcass will decompose, which will accelerate the reproduction of the virus.

Once someone comes into contact with this rotting wild animal, if the resistance is not very strong, it is easy to get infected with the virus.

"Bring Lin Yuanguo back, and I'll check it again."

Guan Yasheng carefully observed Lin Yuanguo's corpse, and then came to a conclusion, and finally explained to the people behind him.

It's not that she can't believe the results of these people's examinations, but it's more reassuring to check it herself to determine whether the virus was transmitted from Lin Yuanguo.

After doing all this, she left the vegetable market, which could not continue to open in the future, and must be sealed, you must know that it was a national plague caused by such a vegetable market.

Driving back to the hospital, re-disinfecting and entering the research room, Lin Yuanguo's body was already on her desk, she took a deep breath, and then picked up the things used for the autopsy and walked over.

Since leaving school, she has rarely dissected creatures, but fortunately, this knowledge is deeply imprinted in her mind.

At this time, Lin Yuanguo had already emitted a stench, which proved that the corpse had begun to decompose, but fortunately she was wearing a protective mask and goggles, and this smell did not affect her.

After the autopsy, she found that the Lin Yuanguo had begun to rot two days ago, maggots had begun to grow in its body, and its internal organs had rotted thoroughly.

She took off a piece of Lin Yuanguo's flesh for a deep examination, and sure enough, under the microscope, she found that Lin Yuanguo carried more than 300 kinds of bacteria and viruses, and dozens of them could be transmitted to humans.

She sighed, fortunately, she had already explained to them before, and she must report this matter to the media, so that everyone knows the danger of eating wild animals, and this situation will be eliminated in the future.

Among the 300 species of bacteria and viruses, a new type of chirovirus has indeed been discovered, so it seems that the pathogen has been found, and since this is the case, then the next step is to start researching.

"Team leader, do you want to conduct research on vaccines and specific drugs now?"

At this time, a doctor came to ask for instructions, but Sekiya did not speak, but continued to look under the microscope, and she seemed to notice something different.

The other party saw that she continued to study carefully, and did not continue to bother, but stood quietly aside, waiting for her to finish her research.

She observed that at this time, the new peak virus on Lin Yuanguo's body had died, leaving only the body of the virus, and she suddenly discovered that this virus was not Lin Yuanguo's original virus.

If it was a protovirus, the virus would have fused into Lin Yuanguo's blood, indistinguishable from each other, but now this new type of chirovirus is only attached to the flesh and internal organs, and has nothing to do with its blood.

In this way, she was finally able to conclude that these viruses were not Lin Yuanguo's native viruses, they were just intermediate hosts.

In other words, Lin Yuanguo was also infected with this virus by a certain organism, and after passing through an intermediate host, it was transmitted to humans again, and this virus was already very contagious.

"Damn it."

Guan Yasheng couldn't help but curse secretly, he thought he had found the pathogen, but he didn't expect it to be just an intermediate host.

It is basically impossible to develop vaccines and specific drugs through intermediate hosts, so it is necessary to continue to find pathogens.

"No, it's not the time yet."

Guan Yasheng sat paralyzed in the chair, busy for so long, but he didn't expect to be busy in vain in the end, but since the intermediate host has been found, it is estimated that it is not far to find the pathogen.

"Why, hasn't the pathogen already been found?"

At this time, the doctor behind him asked a little puzzled, after all, the pathogen has been found, and this is the best time to study special drugs, otherwise it is estimated that more people will die from this peak virus.

In fact, when the research team was formed, these team members didn't think that this matter was serious, but just thought that it was just an ordinary virus, and some fuss was made.

And by this time, the lethality rate has appeared, directly exceeding seven percent, which is simply terrifying, although it cannot be compared with some viruses in Africa with a terrible lethality rate.

But this kind of fatality rate is also unbearable for Huaxia, and at this moment, these team members began to get serious, and they all held back their strength, and they must defeat this new virus.

"Lin Yuanguo is not a pathogen, just an intermediate host, your inspection is still not attentive enough, we can't develop a special drug for the intermediate host, we still have to find the pathogen."

"But since Lin Yuanguo is the intermediate host, then at least we have a direction now, and we will definitely be able to find the pathogen if we go to the places where wild Lin Yuanguo often haunts."

Guan Yasheng sighed, pointed to Lin Yuanguo on the table, and then said softly.

But in the end, she saw the disappointed eyes of the other party, and hurriedly added again, since the intermediate host has been found, then there has been a great breakthrough in the fight against the virus this time, and there is no need to be too disappointed.

"Lin Yuanguo is actually just an intermediate host, what kind of creature carries such a terrible virus."

The doctor standing behind her was also puzzled, but although he was a little unwilling, he couldn't help it, he still believed in the results of Guan Yasheng's research.

There was no choice but to go back and continue to look for the pathogen, Sekiya stood up from his position and found that the entire research team was not in a good mood.

In fact, it's normal to think about it carefully, after all, I almost found the pathogen, and I was disappointed in the end, and no one would like this feeling.

"You don't have to be too frustrated, too disappointed, we have made great progress in this virus war, and it is not difficult to find the pathogen through Lin Yuanguo's habits and frequent locations."

"At least we now have the direction of the investigation, which is a good thing and a completely joyful thing, so don't be too upset, our war has just begun."

Guan Yasheng stood on the podium and said loudly, cheering up the researchers here, the most important thing now is that everyone must have confidence.

Both the public and researchers must have faith, confidence is very important, once there is information, no matter what difficulties will not be broken.

After Guan Yasheng's encouragement, everyone cheered directly, encouraging the depressed researcher, which is also what she, the team leader, should do.

And this kind of thing is really easy to make people depressed and lose confidence, after all, medical research is very boring, if there is no result from the research all the time, everyone will lose confidence.

But Sekiya will never lose faith, for her, medical research is a contribution to humanity, no matter how boring she can persevere, especially now in the fight against this nationwide plague.

After encouraging everyone, she continued to take out her mobile phone and swiped the real-time dynamics, at this time, there were more than 10,000 people infected with the virus, and the death toll exceeded several hundred, which was very terrifying.

However, the speed of confirmed people is much slower than before, that is, everyone has paid attention to the virus, basically do not go out casually, and wear a mask when going out, so that there is a high probability of defending against the virus, which is the most important thing.

Seeing this state, Guan Yasheng nodded, from now on, it is estimated that it can be contained until the outbreak of the virus.

But now the important thing is that not only in China, but also in many countries has this new type of peak virus encephalitis, which is the most terrifying, and she is afraid that this national plague will spread into a worldwide plague.

And this disease is the most common in China, and now the foreign ministries of various countries have issued statements to temporarily refuse the entry of any Chinese people, which is also a helpless thing, after all, the virus first began to spread in China.

And at this time, she dialed Gu Xingpei's phone, she knew Gu Xingpei best, he was the kind of person who didn't want to die for the company, and at this critical juncture, he might also go to work regardless of his safety.

"Hey."

The phone was quickly connected, and Gu Xingpei's cold and magnetic voice came, which was very charming.

"Where are you now? In the company? ”

Guan Yasheng didn't care about whether the sound was good or bad at this time, so he hurriedly asked.

I had been messing with Xu Mo and the hospital before, and I forgot about Gu Xingpei's side, but now I think about it, I hope it's not too late.

"No, I'm at home, the virus is raging, and I let the company take a holiday."

Gu Xingpei denied it, and in order to prove that he was indeed at home, he asked Ren Man to come over to answer the phone.

Hearing Ren Man's voice, Guan Yasheng relieved his heart, and was also a little curious, Gu Xingpei was out of luck this time, and he actually gave the company a holiday, and he performed very well.

"Okay, this time it's a good job, just stay at home, try not to go out, let the servants at home wear masks when they go out, and call me if the masks aren't enough."

Guan Yasheng nodded, she understood in her heart why Gu Xingpei had changed his personality this time, it can be said that since the Gu Group turned from danger to safety, his personality has been different from before.
